Can you all recognise where this picture was taken from?

STAFFORDHIRE PGA ALLIANCE

BLOXWICH

After a good finish the previous week, Bloxwich was the next stop on the PGA Winter Pro Am schedule.

After the best start I could have hoped for (-4 for the first 5 holes) I managed to hold on to the score until the 11th hole. However, "the wheels fell off" as I had bogeys on 4 of the next 7 holes and I threw in a double on the last for good measure, finishing with 35pts (+1). Although I was disappointed, it was not all bad as the very windy conditions meant that I still finished 2nd in the Professional Individual.

A comment was made that I went out in a Limo and came back in an Ambulance.

The team score of 82 points was also good enough to pick up 3rd place.

A thank you to Ralph Harrison, Steve Matthews and Bob Aston for their support on these events.

WALSALL

A trip to Walsall was next on the schedule (always a nice little course to play) and I was joined by Mr Captain, John Prince and Graham Cooke but unfortunately I couldn't perform for them, managing only 31pts. The team managed a respectable 72pts which was mainly due to the putting.

Thank you to The Captain, John and Graham for their continued support in the events and I'm sure we will gel together soon.
